The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1887-05-14

THE Cleveland Plain Dealer de.
scribes the political status of the
Republican party in Cleveland
with this list of incontrovertible
facts, which are as applicable to
Ohio and the whole country: "In
this locality the Republican party
seems to be in sad need of
principles of some sort. There is
only one thing it needs worse and
that is votes. It tseems to have but
one principle and that is to hang
on to all the Offices it can as long
as it can, whatever the people may
want or decide to have done. The
great Republican 'principle,' the
one that Republican never gives
up, and which he is ready to affirm
under any circumstances, is that
no Republican shall ever give up
an Office while by any means, fair
or foul, right or wrong, he can
hold on to it, and that it is right
for Republican to steal an office
if he can't get it any other way"

Boys Should Stay Away.

A colored boy named Jesse
Black, while attempting to board a
L. M. freight train while in motion
at Columbus, on Tuesday evening
last fell under the wheels and had
both legs cut off, one below and the
other above the knee. He Anger-
ed for about Ave hours and died,
thus giving another warning to
our boys, who infest the r. r. yard
for fhe purpose of stealing short
rides. Boys the practice Is not
only foolish but extremely danger

other end of the capitol would

at the selection of Mr.. Carlisle.

turned MS WhOle attentlon 10 the
law. In 1852 he was by Gov. Tod
appointed Chairman ofthe Military
Committee of Hooking County, In
which capacity he actively partici-
pated in the raising and organizing
of troops for the Union Army, un-
til the close of the war. He was
in 1854 appointed Mayor of Logan,
and elected to the same Office in
1865. In August, 1866, he was ap-
pointed Judge of the Court of
Common Pleas Of this county, to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the
resignation of Judge Van Trump.
The life of'Jddge Grogan is some
what peculiar. Never having
married, he became less and less
identified with society. His office
was his home.-Here he read, and
thought, apd slept In the same
rooms for the'last quarter of q CEN
tury. With no womanly hand to
conform him to modern society,
his excentricities of habit and
thought grew upon him until It
might also be said of him, "he was
without q model and without
shadow" He surrounded himself
with old and curious volumes as
well as modern; and with equal
avidity and seeming pleasure,
ranged through all the fields of
literature, from lightest romance
and poetry to profoundest logic.
There was no question of law, or
government, or science, or history
upon which he had not brought to
bear his powers of investigation.
He was familiar with Theology as
far as the lights of history have
illumined, and had studied all the
religions, ancient and modern. His
memory was phenomenal. AS
lawyer he was more learned than
practical; but previous to the fail
ure Of his eye-sight and health, he
was powerful to both the court and
the jury; in fact his brilliancy was
often surprising. AS a citizen he
was patriotic and an ardent de-
fender of our republican form of
government. The faculty of sys-
tematic money making was in him
wholly undeveloped.-He never
appreciated any property other
than books. He never attempted
to make money except by dealing
in mineral lands, and with him
that was more a matter of geology
than money making. In his
charities he seemed unable to dis
criminate, and gave to the worthy
and unworthy alike.r
We submit the following resolu-
tions: AZ
Resolved: That in the death of
Judge Grogan, this Bar has lost
one ofits ablest and most learned
members; the: county one of it's
most distinguished citizens. That
we wiz cherishshis aany virtues,
emulate his great attainments, and
forever honor his memory.

OGDEN CITY COUNCIL
Has NO Money for the Celebration
of Memorial Day.

Has No Money for the Celebration
of Memorial Day.
The following is received from our reg
ular Ogden correspondent, too late for
insertion under the department head:
After the regular opening exercises the
special session of the City Council opened
with the reading of petition from Mrs.
Rachel Lewis, keeper of the Blue Front
lodding house, on Fifth street, called forth
by a remonstrance from some hotel-keep-
ers, presented at the last regular meeting.
The watermaster of the Weber Canal
(whese salary was for sixty-six days at SO
a day) reported that there had been
watered 241 acres of farming land at
$l.S5, and 1929 city lots at 81. There
was also an expenditure of 81 for whisky
for men who were compelled to work in
the water" and So for William Davis as
watermaster on Fourth street. Report
ordered filed, Alderman Dee suggesting it
be framed.
Moroni Brown was appointed water
master for one year.
The Weber canal had been investi-
gated, and it was expected that the ex-
penses for its operating and repairing
would be between 5000 and 500, the
taxes being $1.25 per acre for farming
land, and 81 per city lot. These figures
apply to city lands.
The Recorder read segregated list of
delinquent water tax payers, those who
can but won't, and those who might but
can't pay. Alderman Dee: "The water
master should study up the city or
dinances." The Mayor-"He was told
so last year" Councillor Boyle-'sWhy
not prosecute the delinquents for petty
larceny?' Councillor Brown-'tCant

TOO FLY FOR THAT.
Ellen James, the Second Wife of
Miles L. Williams, Makes
Base Hit.
She Consulted Brother MOyle and Was
Not Found Napping-TOo Close
to the Old Man.
Her Husband is a COhab.. But She
Drew the Line at the Other
OffenSe.

Early this morning, Miles l.. Williams
was arrested on the charge of unlawful
cohabitation with Mrs. Miles Williams
and Ellen James. The case came up be,
fore Judge Mckay at 10 o'clock and Mrs
w. No. 2, proved that she was a little too
fly to allow her husband to be caught on
worse charge
After Williams had entered plea OF
not guilty, the prosecution called Ellen
James, as the first witness. She said:
am married to the defendant, Williams
married him twelve years ago; 1 live at
North Point; have five children; the
youngest is three years old; the defend
ant lives in the same house with me, but
he does not live with me; he has not
lived with his first wife for eleven years /;
when the last Edmunds law passed-or a
little before then, l think on the I'd of
March of the present year-my husband
and ceased living together.
When asked to explain how it was that
her husband had ceased to live with her
at that time, Mrs. Williams explained
that they had consulted Brother Moyle
and he had advised them not to do SO.
for fear her husband would be arrested
for adultery. She insisted that they had
obeyed this counsel, and that there was
no adulteration in their matrimonial pie.
Her evidence, however, was sufficient
to warrant holding her husband on the
charge OF unlawful cohabitation, and
after a 81 800 bond had been signed bv a
couple of North Point farmers, the two
sweet Williams went their way.

DRIVING STAKES.
The Preliminary Survey Of One Of the
New Railroads, From the Mouth
Of Parley's Canyon.
The Line Runs DiagOnally Across the
Bench and Passes i'm Front
of Gilmer's.
1t Joins the Rock Railroad at LETTERS
Mill-It is Evidently
Broad Guage.

Learning this morning that party OF
surveyors were working on the bench to
the east of the city, a DEMOCRAT reporter
rode out in that direction and discovered
something that will be big surprise to
most readers.
Yesterday afternoon the surveyors
emerged from the mouth of Parley's
Canyon, and proceeded to run line
| across the bench almost direct to a point
a few hundred yards south of the Gilmer
residence on the brow of the hill. They
came down off the hill about one-fourth
mile south of Gilmer's and then
ran a bee line across the field
| in front of Gilmer's to a
point near LETTERS Flour Mill. Here a
curve is made and the stakes run onto
the track of the Salt Lake & Fort Douglas
(Rock) Railroad, at point just in front
of the mill mentioned. The track of the
rock road is a narrow guage, but the ties
are broad guage, arranged for third
rail-. From the stakes driven for the
new road, it would seem that it is to be
broad guage, and that it will use the bed
of the Fort Douglas road.
After finishing this work yesterday af-
ternoon, the surveyors withdrew and are
now camped at the mouth of Parley's
Canyon.
Just what road this is, cannot be told
positively, but the fact that a party of
surveyors, acknowledging themselves as
Midland men, left this city for Parley's
Canyon, over a month ago, would seem
to settle the matter upon that road. Of
all the roads that are coming this way,
the Midland is furtherest advanced and
it is altogether probable that they have
taken this step to secure the right of way
into the city ahead of competitors.
1t will be remembered that some years
ago, John w. Young made big effort to
get the right of way along the bank of the
Salt Lake and Jordan Canal to Cotton
wood. He afterward secured the right
of way for the Salt Lake and
Fort Douglas road, the track of which
was laid from the d. & R. G.
depot to the eastern boundary of the
city, and was then allowed to stand idle
While no one ever thought that Young's
Cottonwood road was anything but
scheme" and while about the same
view was taken of the Crock road, ;" no
one seemed to be able to explain
just what use he would make of |
his right of way. 1t is now APP
parent that he has sold it to one
of the eastern roads heading this way,
and that the stakes driven yesterday |
form the connecting link between it and |
the main line through the canyon.
Several surveys have been made
through Parley's Canyon, but which
road is the first to secure the ground re-

This Evening.

This Evening.
The Bush Street Theatre caught the
crush last night. 1t was packed and the
Hallen and Hart Prize Ideals made a
very decided success. When a variety
show holds its audience to the very last.
it is go, for as rule people feel at lib
erty to get up and walk out in the middle
of performance of that kind when they
don't like it. The curtain fell last night
on people standing up at the back of the
theatre, and for the rest the lavish an
plause and laughter during the evening
spoke for themselves. The company is a
large one, but not large With rapid
changes and widely differing varieties of
of entertainment they keep up
the excitement without a break.
McAvoy and Hallen, Ella Wesner, Mile.
Eichlerette and Polly Mcdonald gave
enough variety of very clever kind.
Hallen and Hart. the proprietors of the
show, were very heartily received, and
John Dyllyn was welcomed quite affec-
tionately by the gallery, who sympa-
thized with him in sore throat. One of
the best acts was that of Bryant, a very
humorous negro comedian, and Lizzie
Richmond. The Luciers are a clever
musical quartet. The most notable per-
Torrance, however, was Baggensen, the
human corkscrew. When a man can
turn his body around and keep his feet
straight in the opposite direction and
walk, he is out of the usual; and if Mr..
head is attached to his BODY
by his skin, which he makes it appea to
be, he is certainly a phenomenon. The

BAGGASSEN'S TWISTS.
The Human COrkscrew Gives q
Private Exhibition.


By special invitation. representatives
of the press and medical fraternity as
sembled at the Continental Hotel this
afternoon to witness private exhibition
gwen by Bagassen, the "Human Cork
screw" who is here with Hallen and
Hart. The company included Drs. Bene-
dict, Hamilton, Bowers and White.
The contortionist appeared naked in
one OF the private rooms and gave an ex-
hibition which astonished all present.
He began by drawing his stomach up
under the ribs, leaving a fiat and slender
waist, then bent backward until his
hands touched the floor, then twisted
until he faced the way that his feet
pointed, and finally brought himself
back to standing position. Secondly,
he lay fiat upon the floor face downward
and twisted over until his shoulders were
both touching the floor, while his knees
and feet remained in their original posi-
ton. Another great trick was standing
on his hands and throwing his feet over
his mead until they touched the floor.
Standing in an erect position, he twists
the body until the face and feet point in
directly opposite directions; he then
walks in either direction with apparent
ease. Bending double backward, he
moves his head loosely, describing circles
with it, as though it were ball attached
to string.
Bagassen is "a years of age and has
been in the contortion business for six
years. His limberness was acquired by
practice since childhood. He says that
he never feels the least pain in his ex-
ertions, and that the business comes
easier to him every daY.

ROYAL BARNEY BLOWS.
A Tourist Hears the Martyr-His
Opinion of Him.


EDITOR DEMoCRAT-For many years
have read and heard of Mormons and
Mormonism, but until last Sunday after
noon l had not had the pleasure of listen
ing to real live follower of Joe Smith.
l had some knowledge of the Saints
at Nauvoo, and had seen the window
from which Smith fell when shot in the
jail at Carthage, ILL.,, but the tabernacle
and the Sunday services were new and
interesting to me. The singing was ex-
cellent, the organ was splendid and the
audience was good for such stormy dav.
hoped to hear something that had some
sense in it, and when the young man be-
gan to speak L was all attention. 1
soon learned that the speaker was an
adopted son of Brigham Young, and al
once l wondered why the Prophet
needed to adopt a son-having several
that he claimed to be his own. When
| learned from the speaker that he was
an eX-convict, and fresh from the Peni-
Tertiary, l became more than anxious to
hear him. But | was not prepared to
hear such medley of blasphemy, slang,
falsehood, bad grammar, vulgarity and
ignorance as he gave us. | hoped the
Mormon Church paper would give us a
Uerbdtion report of the TRADE, for l would
be glad to scatter 10000 copies of it
throughout the States. Such language
and such defnance of the law are never
heard in Loyal OF respectable circles.
Only O'clock winder'' or ex-convict
would so insult any audience. The
Church paper gives us partial, unfair re-
port, more remarkable for what it leaves
e. Il l.
refer to the "rot" that Royal Barney
used, and the obscence story about the
Eastern Judge is not published. 1t was
amusing to hear the disloyal polygamist
tell the saints that he could not recon-
mend the penitentiary as a regular place
of boarding. Hundreds of tourists went
away disguised, for they judged the whole
church by the representative they heard.
If men and women can tolerate such vul-
garity and low slang, they must not COM
plain if they are supposed TO be as low
and as vulgar as the speaker. The better
class of Mormons may we'll pray to be
delivered from such harangues as that of
last Sunday. IF that speech was
inspired" a very low and vulgar
spirit have done the inspiring.
If Royal Barney had told us something
about the Mountain Meadows Massacre,
or description of Brigham
Young's harem, or something that he
knows more about than the Bible or
purity, he would have done himself more
credit. Such speech, endorsed by such |
a people, stamps the whole system with |
treason to the Government and rank |
But better day is coming |
TO Utah, and Salt Lake will vet become |
a city as famous for its intelligence and
as it is now for its beauty
Of situation and the corruption of its |
founders. AToURIsT.
